I Dew Care just dropped a reformulated Plush Pudding Mask — and the internet is already fighting in the comments. The original was a sticky, squishy jelly that felt like dessert. This one? Totally different texture.
The real tea: they swapped out some key ingredients. That’s either a glow-up or a downgrade depending on your skin type. I tested both back-to-back for three weeks.
🧴 **What Even Is This Thing?**
It’s a wash-off jelly mask from I Dew Care — $24 for 2.7 oz. The old formula promised “plumping hydration” with hyaluronic acid. The new one? Same price, different vibe.
Texture switch
Old: thick, bouncy jelly. New: thinner, more like a gel-cream. No more satisfying scoop.
Scent change
Original smelled like vanilla pudding. New one is faintly floral — less fun, honestly.
Wash-off speed
Old took 15 min. New sinks in faster — only 10–12 min before it feels dry.

⚖️ **Ingredients: The Swap Game**
Old formula leaned on sodium hyaluronate and squalane. New version swapped squalane for glycerin and added niacinamide. Smart move for oily types — less comedogenic, but less cushion for dry skin.
- Niacinamide: calms redness and fades dullness fast
- Glycerin: humectant that doesn’t clog pores
- Sodium Hyaluronate: still there, but lower on the list
- Centella Asiatica: soothing addition for irritated skin

💬 **First Squeeze: Texture Talk**
Squeezed out a glob — it’s runnier than before. Slid off my fingers. Applied to damp skin and felt a slight tingle (niacinamide doing its thing). Washed off clean, no film. My face felt bouncy but not “plump” the way the old one did.
Week 2: My combo skin actually liked this more. Less shiny by midday. But my dry-cheeked friend tried it and said it felt “meh” — not enough slip.
📋 **The Results (No Lies)**
After 3 uses a week: pores looked smaller. Redness around my nose? Calmer. But the “plump” effect? Barely there. My fine lines looked the same. It’s a maintenance mask, not a rescue one.
🔥 **Final Call**
Better for oily skin. Worse for dry skin. If you’re in the middle? It’s fine, but not life-changing.
